Which scheme focuses on providing financial assistance to women-led Self Help Groups (SHGs) in Manipur?

Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM)
Start-up Manipur
Manipur Start-up Scheme
Chief Minister's Empowerment Scheme

The correct answer is: a) Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM).

The Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) is a national rural livelihood mission launched by the Government of India in 2005. The mission aims to eradicate rural poverty by providing financial assistance and other support to women-led Self Help Groups (SHGs).

The mission has been implemented in all the states and union territories of India. In Manipur, the mission is implemented by the Department of Rural Development. The mission has been successful in providing financial assistance and other support to women-led SHGs in Manipur. As of 2018, there were over 10,000 SHGs in Manipur with a membership of over 100,000 women. These SHGs have been able to access loans from banks and other financial institutions, which has helped them to improve their livelihoods.
